How left-liberals over-intellectualise to virtue signal

Op India  

The language of the left-liberal ecosystem is like junk and packaged food. He called these WhatsApp groups “micro pressure groups”, making him sound like a political scientist of the Hindi-belt, a title which Ravish Kumar enjoyed before his YouTube venture. “Messages targeting their community that what is being built in the name of Nishad Raj, which festivals of yours is approaching, did your MLA or corporator or head sent congratulatory messages for the festival or not…several micro pressure groups are being created on an identity-level and cultural-level,” he said. These pressure groups, be it about employment, books, or films, it is such an interesting churning that it is reflecting now.” This entire speech of Dwivedi was essentially code for the usual ecosystem rant, that, the BJP under Modi govt is running groups right from WhatsApp to literature and academia to journalists to pressurise the people into disseminating information targetting specific communities. Ravish Kumar’s overintellectual virtue-signalling right from his NDTV days to Rajdeep Sardesai’s overintellectual “analysis” of electoral politics to Poonam Agarwal’s overintellectualised insinuations in her report on electoral bonds which has now been proven fake, are only some examples of many.
